Bug Description

The game crashes around when USA Air Force spawns his free King Raptors. I'm able to reproduce the crash consistently with GLA Stealth, sometimes with China Infantry

Reproduction Steps

1. Start GLA Stealth General's Challenge (Hard)
2. Do the speedrun / cheese strategy of using bikes to invade the south-east corner of his base. Capture power plants and build a tunnel, pop quads and start destroying his airfields. (Save game available)
3. The game crashes when USA Air Force spawns free aircraft to begin his rush.

Additional Context

This fixes the crash for me, but because I seem to be the only person who has this problem so far, I wanted to ask others about it before making a pull request.
